SPRAGUE - Sprague Republican Town Committee vice-chairman Michael Meadows is seeking his party's nomination for the 47th District State Representative race this November, he announced in a press release Tuesday.

The seat is currently held by state Rep. Brian Sear, D-Canterbury, who is in his first term.

"It's hard to sit idle when taxes continue to go up, towns are facing new challenges yearly and good people and businesses are leaving the state," Meadows said in a statement.
